CHAPTER EIGHT, Florida!

BRIELLE,

First morning back in Florida. Last night, we landed in Orlando and came straight to Englewood. Right as we got to Danny's place, everyone began to settle down and get ready for bed.

Everyone was up by now, it was late morning. Today, Danny planned to go to the office and just check up on everything... he said he didn't wanna do much today. The guys who lived here in Florida, they were happy to see me... they didn't even know I was coming. Last time they saw me had been the last time Danny and I hung out, back in L.A..

Danny and the rest of the guys were outside, driving around the razors and the dirt bikes. I was riding in the razor with Danny. He made me get in with him, after the other guys rode in it. It was now just me and him in the razor. The whole time we were outside, Alex had been filming.

Danny stopped the razor, "you wanna go around one more time?" He asked me.

"No," I replied. "It's so fucking scary when you drive, the guys weren't lying. I got whiplash." I said, massaging my neck.

"I saw it in the corner of my eye," Danny laughed out loud. "I can't wait to see the footage on this GoPro." Danny pointed to the small camera that was secured in front of us.

"Aw shit, I forgot that was even there."

"You sure you don't wanna go one more time?" Danny asked again.

"No, I'm good." I said, taking off my seatbelt.

Just as I was about to open the door, out of nowhere, Danny began to speed off, catching me off guard. He did a sharp turn, causing me to gasp out of shock. Danny was heading straight for the big hill in front of us. I looked over at him, seeing a tiny smile on his face.

"Danny!" I shouted, quickly gripping onto the seat. "I don't have my seatbelt on!"

At a fast speed, the razor went up in the air as it went up the hill. I felt Danny's arm extend out in front of me, holding me back as we went up. I grabbed onto his arm, holding it for security. As fast as we went up, we landed back on the ground. He did another sharp turn, still going at a fast speed.

I continuously felt wet stuff splashing all over me as he drove around. My hair was all over place as it fell out from the hair tie. At this point, Danny still had his arm out to me since I didn't even have my seatbelt on. I was holding onto his hand tightly with my right hand. Finally, Danny stopped on the concrete where Alex was.

He began to laugh, squeezing my hand that was holding onto his. "Dude," he laughed out loud again, stopping himself from talking. "Right as we went over the hill, I realized she didn't have her seatbelt on."

I let go of Danny's hand, opening the door beside me. "You literally saw me take it off," I gave him the side eye, "I need to get off of this... I'm all wet."

Alex kept the camera rolling, following me and Danny with it. Danny looked over to the camera, raising both of his eyebrows.

"Yeah, I made her wet." Danny took his opportunity to slide in a joke.

I looked over at him, seeing a tiny grin on his face. I playfully rolled my eyes, walking off from him. "Shut up."

"I can make her eyes roll back all the time too, just like that," Danny said, followed by a laugh. I looked back at him with a blank stare. "Well, we should get cleaned up, finally head over to the office."

I looked back, seeing Danny watching me walk off. I smiled at him, earning one back from him as well. As I walked into the garage, I tried to take some dried dirt off of me.

We were at Danny's office, standing around outside. The sun had just set, so it was early nighttime. Danny didn't post anything about being there, so the customers who came by today were just in luck. We got here later then we wanted to, which was about two hours ago. We went to go get something to eat before coming here.

Kewon and I stood next to the van, leaning against its door. Alex was taking pictures of Danny in front of us. Kewon and I were talking to some fans, who had been hanging around for a bit. In mid conversation, Danny called out my name causing us to stop talking.

"Brielle, come over here," Danny called out to me, reaching his arm out. "Let's take a picture."

I walked over to him and he put his arm around my shoulders. He then pulled me closer to him, making our bodies face each other. I wrapped my arms around his body, putting my head onto his chest right under his chin. I smiled, looking into the camera that Alex was holding. The flash went off, making me quickly blink afterwards.

Without letting go of each other, I looked up at Danny, "you have fans waiting by the stand to take a picture with you."

Danny looked down at me, "they can wait. I just wanted to take some pictures."

In mid conversation, the camera flash went off catching the both of us off guard. I let go of Danny, allowing him to go take pictures with the fans that had been waiting around. I walked back towards the circle I was in.

"Sorry, he just wanted some pictures." I said.

"Is this your guys' first day back in Florida?" They asked, continuing on with the conversation.

"Yeah," I shrugged, "we just got here yesterday night."

We went back to Danny's place, then walked over to his moms side of the house. We went through the garage, where his sister opened the door for us. We walked inside, seeing Danny's mom holding Remy in her arms as she stood in the kitchen. The last time we saw them was this morning.

Remy smiled as she saw me follow behind Danny. I walked over to them, reaching my arms out to her. "Remy, baby!" I said in my baby talk voice. "Come here!"

She reached over to me, allowing me to carry her. Danny's mom put her hands on her hips, "it's like she's starting to like you more than me now."

"Remy's found her new favorite person," Danny laughed. "Hold on, I'll be right back." He said, walking out the front door with Alex, leaving me, his sister, and his mom alone.

"How long are you staying in Florida, hun?" His mom asked me.

"As long as Danny is," I shrugged, "I'm just following him around at the moment." I chuckled.

Remy wrapped her arms around my neck, putting her head down on my shoulder. Danny's sister patted her back, "she's getting tired... it's almost her bedtime."

"I'm so glad I get to finally see you again," his mom said. "The last time I saw you was the last time I went to Cali!"

"I know, I got excited too! For once he finally brings a girl around!" His sister laughed, "it's always guys all over the place... are you and Danny like... you know?"

"No, no!" I quickly answered. "Still friends, like how it's been for the past years."
